The Run
Start your run at the corner of Kessler Pkwy and N Edgefield Ave near the tennis courts. You can park on the street here. Start moving east on Coombs Creek Trail running alongside Kessler Pkwy.
A little over half a mile in you’ll hit Sylvan Ave – you’ll have to cross the street to continue onto the trail. It’s a busy road so look both ways!
You’ll run into a road barrier at the 1 mile marker – run towards it and you’ll see where the trail continues. That barrier is just for cars:)
Keep running until you meet the end of the route. To get a quick view of the Dallas skyline run up the hill at the trail’s end.
When you get your selfie, head back to your starting point to make 3 miles.
Pro tip: The Kessler neighborhood is one of the more hilly areas of Dallas. If you want a challenge, go end your run with hill sprints on one of the uphill streets.
